The statistics on change leadership are dismal. McKinsey Quarterly reported that only 38% of leaders believed their recent transformation effort was better than somewhat successful. And the project success rates (coming in on time, within budget, and to scope) are lower than anyone would like. Clearly, there's room for improvement.
In this session given at the 2012 Healthcare Businesswomen's Association Leadership Conference, participants learned what it takes to provide successful change leadership. Specifically, we discussed:
- The one method that makes a change initiative 10 times more likely to succeed.
- The six ways of creating change in organizations.
- How leaders can use the six ways to help create change.
- How leaders can choose the best fit for their projects or initiatives.
Participants said it was the "best session of the conference!" For more information, see the event post at http://partneringresources.com/event/change-leadership-at-hba-leadership-conference/.

How to Link Personal Values with Team Values
Here’s how companies such as Levi Strauss, AT&T, and Nordstrom conduct a values discussion to resolve conflicts between people’s personal values and those of their team or organization. The result is behavior that expresses the desired values and workers’ commitment to company goals.

Author’s Note - "This book represents what I have learned over the course of some three decades of leading, managing, and consulting to organizations and programs in both the public and nonprofit sectors, where I worked to build organizational competencies and capacity to improve the lives and prospects of marginalized, weakened, or otherwise disempowered individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. Since I am addressing a wide audience with differing levels of exposure to the discipline of performance management, I will err on the side of explaining at a level of detail that will help newcomers to this approach understand and implement it.
Nevertheless, I hope that this document will also be of interest and use to those with greater experience in this area, and that especially the examples of the work of front-line organizations will be a valuable resource and inspiration to them. .......
I hope that this will be a useful guide for those who are interested in understanding performance management, those who want to learn how to develop performance-management systems, and those who are looking for practical knowledge about how to implement such systems in order to “manage to outcomes,” as Mario Morino puts it so well in his book Leap of Reason. I think of it as a “how-to” manual for leaders, managers, and staff working in directservice organizations to help them work reliably and sustainably at high levels of quality, efficiency, and effectiveness. I hope it will also be useful to organizational consultants occupied in the area of performance management. The text is resolutely practical, a synthesis of my experiences into a matter-of-fact approach to both strategic and tactical (day-to-day) performance management."

This paper examined a psychological concept called social loafing as a great debility in achieving good and effective teamwork. Social loafing describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group. Because all members of the group are pooling their effort to achieve a common goal, each member of the group contributes less than they would if they were individually responsible.
As an international non-profit organization we believe in collective leadership skills for sustainability and the capacity to dialogue – for jointly created solutions across sectors, institutions, nations and cultures. We globally support leaders and change agents in private companies, public institutions and civil society who anchor their action in the concern for the greater good and the future of humankind on this planet.
Successfully changing the culture of an organization means giving the culture the inherent desire to change even without the organization. Afterwards it will regenerate an organization; the challenge is to get the one desired.

Effective Change Management:
The Simple Truth
I
n a previous life I remember
walking into my new boss's
office for my induction talk
- it was my first day of my first
people management job and
I was full of excitement and
anticipation. Then he sat me
down and said: "Your job is
to get the unwilling to do the
impossible for the ungrateful."
I nearly turned around
and walked back out the
door! If we put our hands
on our hearts how many of
us would admit that change
management sometimes
feels like this? A recent
change management study
by Towers Watson surveyed
over 600 organisations that
have recently gone through
significant change and
unearthed the practices that
are at the heart of effective
change management. They are
simple truths and can make
the difference between success
and failure in many cases, but
evidence suggests that they
are often forgotten when in
the midst of a challenging
change project.
It is a fact that change is
a constant reality for any
organisation looking to
survive and thrive in these
turbulent and uncertain
times. When you boil it
up, change is about doing
things differently or doing
different things. Whether
you have to change, help
others change or define what
the change is, we all have a
vested interest in getting it
right. Our recently published
research shines a light on
what those organisations
that are effective at change
management have in common
when it comes to managing
change. So bearing this in
mind, the first issue to put to
bed is what do we mean here
when we say 'effective change
management'? In a nutshell,
if change programmes
achieve their stated goals on
time and within budget and
deliver sustainable benefit
then that would fit most
people's definition. We used
this definition to classify
organisations that are really
good at change management
and then looked at what they
did well in comparison with
their peers.
Significantly and perhaps
not surprisingly, we also
found that those businesses
that plan and execute change
well are also the ones that
are outperforming their
peers when it comes to
bottom line performance.
Companies highly effective
at both communication and
other change management
activities are 2.5 times as likely
to outperform their peers that
are not highly effective in
either area.
So considering the
prevalence of change -
and the effect of change
management on bottom-line
performance - there are plenty
of reasons to take a hard look
at how those organisations
are approaching change
management and to learn the
lessons.
From our research we
found that the following
are self-evidently true
Effective change management
is a little bit art and a little
bit science. The best change
practitioners balance rational,
data driven approaches with
a deep understanding of
emotional drivers. It's about
understanding the unique
needs of the business and its
people and then applying
insight and the right tools
to deliver the change. It is.

Managing Organizational Change
The invention in the business world has led to rapid transformation in many Organizations. In order to remain in production, business organizations are faced with an inevitable need for change. Transformations determine which companies thrive, and that fades. To effect the move, the company faces resistance since you don't know how to go about it, who to involve, and what is in it for employees (Burnes, B., & Randall, J. 2015). There exist many theories that try to explain management change, but the outstanding one is Kotter's 8-step change model. According to Kotter, successful change in an organization such as Walmart retail cooperation involves systematic steps these steps are Establishing a sense of urgency, create a coalition, Develop vision and strategy, communicate the vision, empower broad-based action, Generating short-term wins, consolidating gains and producing more change and anchoring new approaches into the society. These steps and their application are discussed below.
Creating a sense of urgency
Intelligence urgency refers to communicating with employees on the importance of acting promptly and without delay. It describes a positive state of mind that managers should evoke to those they lead. It is not a tool of pointing how competitors are better off or showing people poor sales statistics, but, opens a convincing honest dialogue about the internal affairs of the business (Centrella, S. 2019). As a leader of a company such as Walmart retail store, one can do the following to create a sense of urgency: see probable uncertainties and extend proposal of what can take place in future, and also requests outside help from customer and business people to reinforce his case.
Creating a coalition
At this stage of transformation of a company, the management unites a group of people who have qualities to lead and can facilitate teamwork. Convincing group staff that change is important takes able leadership qualities and visible assistance from the organization. In order to create a strong coalition, one has to spot leaders and stakeholders who commit one to team building and assess the team for weaker areas.
Vision for change
Change comes about because of the idea that things can be handled differently. Having a clear vision can help employees understand why they have to do this and that in the company. If the workforce sees for themselves what you intend to archive, the directive given tends to make sense and is followed without resistance (Lawrence, P. 2014). What one needs to do in order to archive vision change includes determining the principles that are essential to change, documenting in summary where you see the company in prospect, create strategies to meet objectives i ...
Five Levels of Communication InfographicMaya Townsend
Some tools never lose their value. The hammer. The umbrella. The wheel. These tools have been around for centuries and we trust them.
We have similarly trustworthy, proven tools in the organizational world. The Tried & True series shares trusted models that stand the test of time in graphical form. The first tool is the Five Levels of Communication.
Most leaders recognize that communication is essential during change. However, all too many think of communication as a simple matter of sending an informational email.
To encourage all that's needed to support sustainable change, organizations must engage in five different levels of communication. This model, developed by Linda Ackerman Anderson and Dean Anderson based on a model by ARC Worldwide, has been helping leaders for years.
Is Your Strategy Stuck in 20th Century?Maya Townsend
Most of the approaches to strategy in use today were developed in the 20th century, when the world was a much different place. Use this guide to gauge your organization’s use of 21st century assumptions and tools. Does your approach meet the demands of today’s volatile, uncertain world?
Problems come in many shapes and sizes. Make sure you're solving problems effectively by using the right tools for the job. Our new infographic shows you how to choose.
Improve likelihood of change success by 10%? Sounds good!
I’m a big fan of the work done by Grenny, Maxfield, and Shimberg on what makes change initiatives successful. According to their research, initiatives are ten times more likely to succeed when the change strategy includes at least four of six approaches.
Why can’t people just get with the program? They question, they challenge, they complain… and it’s all perfectly predictable and normal.
Transition is the emotional process people go through when adapting to a change in their world. It doesn’t matter if the change is positive, like having a new baby or getting promoted. People still have to let go of some parts of their life (perhaps the luxury of sleeping late!) and learn new things (how to change a diaper while half asleep).
The process is predictable, according to the work seminal done by organizational thinker and consultant William Bridges. Leaders who understand what people typically experience during change can put measures into place to help accelerate the transition process.

SCARF Model for Managing Organization StressMaya Townsend
Have you ever felt that your life was in immediate danger? You remember feeling a burst of adrenaline as your heart race, and you moved into action or froze in your tracks.
Research shows that other situations, in which there is no physical danger, can trigger a similar response. This “fight, flight, or freeze” response decreases the ability to plan, make rational decisions, and perceive subtle social and cognitive signals. Unfortunately, these skills are needed during organizational change—just when people are likely to be triggered.
If you know how people are likely to be triggered, you can anticipate by putting measures in place to prevent disruptive responses. Use the SCARF Model to anticipate triggers and plan your next change initiative.
Most leaders encounter resistance to change. The resistance can take various forms. People can protest the implementation plan, the approach, your leadership, the font size used in change communications, and the decision to change in the first place.
This new infographic on resistance highlights the work of three masters. Rick Maurer’s Three Types of Resistance is a classic method of understanding why people resist and how to respond effectively. Ingrid Bens teaches us how to have conversations about resistance in ways that work. The late Herb Shepard’s teachings offer wisdom from his years of work with organizations.
Use this infographic to help decide how to handle the inevitable challenges and pushback that arise during change.
Organizations still struggle with change. After all our collective years of experience and learning about change, it’s still hard.
Part of the challenge is that we still insist on using techniques that assume organizations are like machines. Get the right tool, technician, and process, and the results will follow.
The problem is that organizations are comprised of people. People are often unpredictable. We have opinions. We don’t like feeling as if we’re being controlled or treated unfairly. And we really don’t like being treated like machines.
Rather than thinking about change as a linear, predictable process, we need a new way. The Change Journey is a process that treats people like people, not like machines.
Does networking really make a difference? The answer is a resounding yes! In a study performed by Partnering Resources, 93% of completely successful change initiatives were led by leaders with very strong or strong personal networks. Not one change initiatives described as less successful was led by a leader with strong or very strong personal networks. Furthermore, a recent study featured in Sloan Management Review showed that high performing project teams had almost twice as many non-core contributors affiliated with the team.
In this highly interactive session, we learned about the science behind networking. We drew on insights from researchers and practitioners in the social sciences and in business to learned about the networking practices of high performers. We dispelled the myth that people who want strong networks should never eat alone and, instead, we learned about the simple actions that significantly contribute to the health of your network. We merged the art and science by mapping individual participants’ networks, identifying gaps, and developing plans for filling those gaps.

Using Hidden Networks to Identify and Develop High PotentialsMaya Townsend
~~Slides from May 17, 2012 presentation at the North East HR Association conference~~
How often have you realized, only after an employee has left the company, how critical he or she actually was to the business? Have you ever found your company in dire straits because key positions have been empty for too long? Or have you hired a promising new executive only to see that person fail after just a short time on the job?
If so, you’re not alone. Sixty-four percent of new executives hired from the outside fail at their jobs, according to HR Review. And companies regularly fail to recognize the value of individuals or roles until they’re gone.
Succession planning helps improve the situation. But the data most companies use to make decisions about development and succession is incomplete.
The missing piece is the organization’s networks. Networks show the hidden relationships within organizations and identify deeply trusted employees, subject matter experts, innovation leaders, effective implementers, and problem solvers. They show who is deeply trusted, who people go to for leadership, and who might shine on their performance reviews but can’t work well with others.
Knowledge of the information embedded in networks can help leaders identify high potentials more effectively, make better decisions about succession, and craft more accurate and effective development plans.

Hidden Web: How Informal Networks Drive Project PerformanceMaya Townsend
These slides, from a May 11, 2010 presentation to the Project Management Institute Central Massachusetts Chapter, explain what PMs can do to boost project success rates through use of networks.
From the session description:
Influencing without authority is one of the hardest skills to acquire. Yet there is a powerful tool that can help PMs understand how to influence effectively. Underneath organization charts and process maps are hidden informal networks: the webs of relationships that underlie all organization activity. People activate these webs in order to solve problems, gain expertise, and innovate. For years, we have known that these networks exist, but haven't had the tools to leverage them properly. Today, thanks to advances in mathematics and technology, we now have the ability to scientifically identify, map, and analyze networks.
In this lively, interactive session, PMs will learn how to identify, nurture, and leverage these informal networks in order to boost project success rates. We'll look at the science underlying informal networks and influencing with authority. We'll review recent findings that show the connections between human network management and project performance. PMs will leave with a greater understanding of the practical steps they can take to use networks to improve project performance.
